“A Biophysical Model of Merkel Cells Explaining Mechanical Stimuli Transduction into Neural Signals”

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38117763

A biophysical model of Merkel cells incorporating various channels and mechanisms explains how mechanical stimuli are transduced into neural signals, with Piezo2 channels being sufficient to inspire sustained calcium transients and neurotransmitter release.
